As to following Newey to the Silverstone-based team, potentially as early as 2026, Verstappen said: “I have other worries at the moment that I’m paying a lot of attention to and I’m working on, so that is something maybe for the future that I think about. Not now.”

Addressing how he felt about seeing Newey at Aston Martin, Verstappen said: "To be honest, that’s fine. Adrian and I, we have a very good understanding.

"I sent him a message after the news came out - even though, of course, I knew that it was coming - so I’m happy for him. It’s a new challenge.

"Of course, I always said I would have loved him to stay, but at one point you cannot overturn these things, so then you’re just excited for people seeking new challenges.

“I also know that Lawrence, of course, is pushing flat out to make it a success with Aston Martin, so it’s quite understandable, of course, that he wants to have Adrian on his side.”
